Miller, add Reunanen.

For me, I think Lundkvist and Miller are a little ahead of Kravtsov. The three are all in the same tier, but I found this to be an easier decision than the last vote.

 

[broadwayblue]

Tough spot here

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Vito Kravtsov >>> Miller

 

[Savant]

Miller, add Reunanen

 

[Edge]

Going with Kravtsov here.

Miller is the specimen and a freak athlete.

But Kravtsov’s skill level is pretty sick. I think we almost forget about him because it Lafreniere and Kakko (and that isn’t inherently a bad thing), but this kid has a very high ceiling if we’re patient.

Also don’t think we need to vote for the next rank. Whoever loses between Kravtsov and Miller will be the next ranked prospect.

 

[RGY]

Kravtsov, Add Jones.

 

[Leetch3]

Kravtsov....add Jones

 

[Cag29]

Kravstov. Add Jones.

 

[Kaapo di tutti capi]

Add Jones

 

[Edge]

Igor Shesterkin might end up being an all-star and one of the better Rangers of all-time, and yet due to timing consistently miss out on being the Rangers top prospect.

 

[Polar Bear]

It's Miller for me, but it's tight.

Add Jones.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Igor Shesterkin might end up being an all-star and one of the better Rangers of all-time, and yet due to timing consistently miss out on being the Rangers top prospect.

No matter who wins this round that is such a sick top 5 and this list doesn't even include Kakko, Fox, ADA. This team is going to be stacked.

 

[Calad]

VK add ZJ

 

[Fitzy]

Miller time, add Jones

 

[Edge]

I’ve said this before, but the two things that concerns me with Miller is the hype/expectation vs reality, and the timeline.

I keep seeing both of those elements inched up and there’s just this sinking feeling that both are a bit too high.

Miller is a very good prospect, but I sometimes wonder if he’s going to be the next Chris Kreider that this board somewhat debates for a decade.

if Miller is the next Kreider the pick is an absolute home run for me

Miller doing Kreider things like having sterling defensive and offensive metrics and playing a very calculated and efficient game is exactly what I hope from him. whether he scores 30p or 50p doesn't matter to me.

is that a fair analysis?

Truth be told it’s not a matter of it not being a great pick, but I saw the struggle this board had for a very long time with someone like Kreider. And a lot of that was due to the images people had in their head before he came to the NHL.

Once fans set an expectation for a prospect, even if it’s unfair and they really haven’t seen the player, it’s very hard for them to shake that mental image.

I sense that with Miller a little bit. That worries me in the sense that I’ve seen what happens when this board thinks it is getting more than it is likely to end up with. And that might not be fair to Miller.

 

[eco's bones]

K'Andre Cuylle.

 

[JimmyG89]

Kravtsov

Would add in Henriksson this round. Solid SHL player at 19, trusted by his coaches in big spots. Would probably vote for him over some guys already on the list (Schneider and Robertson). Both those guys are really good prospects, but I think Henriksson is more accomplished and has true 2nd line center potential

 

[Matt4776]

Miller by the tiniest of hairs. Add Jones.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Krava, add Reunanen.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Add Jones.
